Today China made the US *"pay a price"* for Pelosi Taiwan visit
- by sending aircrafts *touching the median line* of the Taiwan Strait and flying back ... lol

US is not going to let China tell us where a US senator can or cannot go.

[meister-rw]

U.S. just basically told China, What are you going to do about it and Up yours. lol

[Sparker]

I don't agree much with Nancy's politics but she definitely has more balls then Biden

[lastChang]

In Taiwan🇹🇼, Pelosi will reaffirm that it's an *independent country.*
- The US still follows its One China, One Taiwan policy.

From Wikipedia

The second communiqué (January 1, 1979), the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations, formally announces the commencement of normal relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China. In so doing, the United States recognized that the government of the People's Republic of China was the sole legal government of China, and acknowledged the PRC’s position that Taiwan was part of China. In addition, the United States government declared that it would end formal political relations with the Republic of China

The executive branch is responsible for foreign policy. Why the heck is she there?

[kenchow]

[AustinAOkay]

Don’t agree with Pelosi on much of any but just as Trump walked to North Korea, this is a good thing.

[josepheyes]

Never test the capability of the US military.

Hope the United States do not push us closer to WW3.

[deborahforrest]

[oberder]

Can you stop using the term breaking news for everything

[ahmonguniform]

This visit doesn’t help it probably provocatively sends the message that USA is openly showing true colors towards Taiwan. It will likely add more fire into the situation.
